Israel launched air strikes and sent troops and tanks into southern Lebanon Wednesday, after Hezbollah television said its guerrillas had abducted two Israeli soldiers along the border with Lebanon and demanded a prisoner exchange for their release.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert blamed the Lebanese government for the attack and said the government would be held responsible.

He declared a Lebanese guerrilla attack on Israel's northern border to be "an act of war," and vowed that the Israeli response would be "very, very, very painful," The Associated Press reported.
 
oh snap... the end of days is here!!

Seriously though.

Edit: Why arn't they covering this on my local CNN channel? They're haven't mentioned it nor has it been on any of the news headlines on the bottom of the screen.

I'm just waiting to hear about some sort of US backing, then there will be buckets of shit hitting multiple industrial sized fans.
 
Israeli PM said:
"The government will convene this evening for a special cabinet meeting. I want to make clear that the events this morning are not a terror attack but an operation of a sovereign state without any reason or provocation."

"If the soldiers are not returned we will turn Lebanon's clock back 20 years," Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Dan Halutz to Israeli Channel 10.

well, that's pretty much war then?

War involves 2 sides fighting each other, this is just going to be some sort of massacre according the words of the Defense Chief. Israel unlike other Arab nations has very advanced weapons and military technology compared to their neighbors... this will not end good.
 
why can't the US give Israel some of arizona as their new country?

Its clear nobody is ever going to peacefully live side by side, so they should just move someone out.

And I'm only half joking.
 
I don't care anymore. For all my life I have been hearing on news how Israel is fighting with its neighboring countries. There is just never going to be peace in that area as long as Isreal exists as it is today.
 
WTF?!?

we got:
- North Korea issue
- on-going violence in Iraq
- terrorist bomb in India
- Israel vs. Hamas
- now Israel vs. Lebanon
- Zidane vs. Maseroti (sp)
- France vs Italy

This world sucks!!!

Human sucks!!!!

aliens should just come and nuke us

then there will be war between the jews vs hispanics :lol
 
Wow, lots of israel hate in the thread. Maybe, just maybe, if Israel's neighbors were to STOP TRYING TO F*CK WITH OR FLAT-OUT DESTROY Israel, they wouldn't have to be the Middle East's big bad wolf.

Hezbollah fires rockets into Israel routinely from Southern Lebanon. Hezbollah fires across the border at israeli positions from southern Lebanon. Hezbollah is now kidnapping soldiers from across the Israeli-Lebanese border. Israel occupied this area of Lebanon before to put a stop to behavior like this, and as soon as they decided to give it back, it started anew. Hezbollah is a major party in Lebanese politics, and is a significant portion of the Lebanese gov't, from what I have read.
 
Although I'm a Saudi I truly believe Hezbollah started this shit.
I think we arabs if we'r to be honest with ourselves we should tell hezbollah to go FU@# THEMSELVES!!.
And the same goes for HAMMAS.
 
Oh goody, another excuse for Israel to spill the blood of innocents.

Like those psychotic murderers need an excuse.

and maybe if Israeli fundamentalists in 1940's had negotiated with Arabs and Palestinians instead of just claiming Israel thier land, there would be peace. but no they had to raise the Torah in the air and proclaim it all of a sudden didnt they
 
Israel should be backed by western nations for being the only democratic nation in the mid-east.

Oh, so being a democracy excuses everything you may do wrong?

Here's a few pics of Israel's work.

What the **** are you talking about all of a sudden? Your old tag surely was fit. Fighting for that region has been going on for hundreds of years.

It's called war you moron. Shit happens. Innocent people die all the time. I'm so sick of hippies like you and Sharukins crying everytime someone gets killed. Welcome to reality.
 
Israel should be put in the international court for this. the most hurtful incident in Israeli-Palestinian history. This was the work of Israeli professionallly trained soldiers

Can a Mod just close and delete this thread now?

Why, because there's a thread so that people can say the truth about Israel? It may hurt, but these "blameless saints" maybe aren't so blameless. That country brainwashes people into its cause, and you're a victim. For more brainwashing, see here:

When I saw movies when I was in the US it was ****ing awful. I can't believe the shit you guys have to put up with in your cinemas. For some reason, no matter what kind of movie is playing, everybody will break out in laughter at the most innapropriate times. Eg: I was watching Munich, and when they shot their first target half the cinema started laughing and clapping and hooting...WTF?
 
So Hizbollah, whom have no part in the recent events, out of nowhere captures two Israeli soldiers and some of you are attempting to spin this against Israel saying they are the ones starting up shit with Lebanon and as an excuse to kill civilians. That is some pretty messed up logic if you ask me.
 
I love how everyone puts the blame on Israel. That area is extremely unstable for more reasons than just Israel. The Palestinians are no better at keeping peace. And for the record, quit posting pictures of dead people and saying "OMG ISRAEL IS TEH EVIL! LOOK AT WUT THEY DID!" Every nation has killed innocent people. That's the sad truth. So quit acting like the Israeli military is throwing grenades into schoolhouses.

The reason the thread should be closed is because there is absolutely zero chance for any sort of civil and rational discussion.

You mean Israel should sit there and have its citizens blown up daily?

WTF is wrong with your logical thought process?


Yes Iseral is the only democratic country in the mid-east and i don't see anything wrong with western nations backing them nor fighting for their right to exist.

Israel gets the blame because it has the money, the weapons, the BOMB and the infrastructure. The palestinians have nothing but hopeless hearts and Arabs have nothing but resentment over Israel using the Torah to proclaim this land as JEWISH in an area where before Israel was formed Jews, Christians and Muslims lived in peace since the end of the crusades.

It had nothing to do with it being a palestinian dying. Don't quote me out of context. It was the fact that they shot somebody, they laughed at equally innapropriate times, don't try to spin my words. There were other movies that had equal amounts of 'wtf' laughing moments from those audiences, that one just stuck out in my mind.

I don't see Israel as having started this shitifight, nor am I confident this was the best course of action for them to take. I feel for all the innocents that get caught up in the conflict on both sides. However it seems to me in this thread and the last you've done nothing but try to spin your anti-israel shit.

Awww! THE POOR PALESTINES AND THEIR SUICIDE BOMBERS! OF COURSE ISRAEL MADE THEM DO IT! ISRAEL MADE THEM BLOW UP INNOCENT ISRAELIS! Awwww! You just changed my whole perspective! You guys are ridiculous. You want me to believe that it's all Israels fault and Palestinian militants are the real victims here? Both sides are ****ed up. I've already said that. Quit putting absolutely everything on Israel. There has been conlfict in that region since both religions formed and neither are willing to share. That's the reality.

You didn't say that, but you mentioned that they laughed and applaused when a Palestinian died. I'm saying that the reason for the applauding and laughing is Israel's influence on the american media and by extention, the american people.

But who started it? Palestinians didn't say "You know what? Take our land that has been in peace for centuries." Israel decided to take it by force.

I don't think anyone here is saying their blameless saints, don't put words into peoples mouths. An eye for an eye is the motto of the region, but Israel tries to teach others a harsh lesson Palestine takes out an eye, Israel retaliates and takes out an eye, a couple of teeth, an ear and so forth. You'd think that when someone has been hurt so badly like that they'd learn to sit the **** down and shut the **** up instead of repeatedly "poking at the sleeping lion". **** I don't remember last time an Israeli went into a Palestinian region strapped with bombs into a public area and set themselves off, could you refresh my memory?

I love how idiots post pictures "oh look at all of our dead bodies! they killed them all!" how about putting a back story into that? If there's dead bodies it's because you provoked them to attack.

Suicide bombings didnt really actually start until the early to mid 1990's. Actually if you want to go to the root of the problem then yes it is the Israeli agression since the 1950's which led to the concept of suicide bombings as a means of conveying the message of the palestinian terrorists and thier so called cause. First it was Israel's fault, now it is both Israel's and the militants fault, who's terrorist ideology was formed through the hate of Israel, which might also have led to that ideology to be used by Al Qaeda.

OK, so they don't use the same MO for their killings. Israel prefers to send in their military to do their killing, while Palestine has its citizens do the dirty work. The end result is the same.

provoked them to attack who? children? I know the militants are uneducated in the sense of warfare but Israeli's have professionally trained soldiers, it would be more onus on those soldiers to be trained to reduce colateral damage, but more innocent people die than militants
 
Ok let me get this straight...

So Israel conducts a military operation in southern Lebanon, the Hezbola heard about it, defended themselves, killed many soldiers, captured two of them and now, after the failure of this morning's operation (and trust me, a lot of them happen all the time, Israeli pilots find it awesomely fun to violate lebanon's flying space, flying low and breaking the sound wall just to "have fun" and shatter windows) they suddenly call it "An aggretion from a sovereign neigbour toward the nation"? Color me surprised.

Like Israel NEVER abducts people in southern Lebanon for their own dirty work...

Are you talking about the occupation of Gaza and whatnot? Because the occupation was provoked by militant attacks against Israel.

Or are you talking about the UN resolution passed to divide the area between the Jews and the Palestinians? Or about the military actions that resulted shortly thereafter because of the Palestinian declaration of war against the Jews? Which one?

Civilian casualties happen in any military conflict. Sorry.

Occupation of Gaza was proved by Militant attacks which was provoked by 50 years of no hope.

thats not an excuse im sorry. those are brainwashed militants who only need hope and guidance, but there is none when thier brothers and sisters are dying. These are trained soldiers who would have been trained to kill militants, not go for maximum collateral damaget to kill militants
